महत्या सेनया तस्थौ नानाजनपदोत्थया । पुच्छभागमें अपने पुत्र, जाति-भाई तथा कुटुम्बके बन्धु-बान्धवोंसहित भिन्न-भिन्न देशोंकी विशाल सेना साथ लिये विकर्तनपुत्र कर्ण खड़ा था
mahatyā senayā tasthau nānājanapadotthayā | pucchabhāge meṁ āpane putra, jāti-bhāī tathā kuṭumbake bandhu-bāndhavõsahita bhinna-bhinna deśõkī viśāla senā sātha liye vikartanaputra karṇa khaṛā thā |
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಸೈನ್ಯದ ಪುಚ್ಛಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಕರ್ತನಪುತ್ರ ಕರ್ಣನು ನಾನಾ ಜನಪದಗಳಿಂದ ಬಂದ ಮಹಾಸೈನ್ಯವನ್ನು ಜೊತೆಗೂಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ನಿಂತಿದ್ದನು. ಅವನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಅವನ ಪುತ್ರರು, ಸ್ವಜಾತೀಯ ಬಂಧುಗಳು, ಕುಟುಂಭದ ಬಾಂಧವರು ಹಾಗೂ ಮಿತ್ರ-ಸಹಾಯಕರು ಕೂಡಿದ್ದರು.
